Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 24

Su Wuming eagerly persuaded Song Ami and asked her to think carefully about which side she should stand on. He emphasized that the people in the city were innocent and they should not die because of this war. Su Wuming reminded Song Ami, could she bear to see these children go through the same suffering as she did when she was a child? He pointed out that Linghu Shuo obviously came with the purpose of taking advantage. If his purpose was achieved, Song Ami's life would not be saved. Lu Lingfeng also joined in the persuasion. He pointed out that the people under the city were all hard-working farmers. If they surrendered now, it would not be too late, and Lu Sian would not care. However, Linghu Shuo forcefully ordered the people to charge into the battle and announced that anyone who escaped would be killed, which made the people fall into fear and hesitation again.

Song Ami stood on the city gate, listening to the words below, her disappointment in Linghu Shuo deepened. Seeing him using the rhinoceros to break down the city gate, her heart sank even more. Pei Xijun looked at Lu Lingfeng worriedly, while Lao Fei firmly stated that no matter life or death, they would stay here and never escape. Lu Lingfeng looked up at the moon, pondered for a moment and then said, if the moon was covered, the rhinoceros would be like a blind man, and it would be easy to kill it. Su Wuming also persuaded Song Ami that although this monster was ferocious, it also had spirituality.

However, Linghu Shuo obviously didn't care about the life and death of the Tongtian Rhinoceros. He just hit it with his fists and murmured to himself that he wanted to be the king here. Song Ami finally understood that Linghu Shuo never really liked her, and his affection was just to satisfy his ambition. She suddenly woke up and whistled, trying to get the Babel Rhinoceros to stop attacking. Linghu Shuo realized that something was wrong and tried to stop it but failed. He could only watch Tongtian Xi leave.

Linghu Shuo was still unwilling to give in and said that he must dominate here. Lu Lingfeng once again stated that his previous words are still valid, asking those who cannot control their own life and death to run away quickly, and he will forget the past. For a time, the ordinary people fled one after another. Linghu Shuo also had an arm cut off by Lu Lingfeng, and was finally defeated.

Lu Lingfeng finally gave away the relic, and Mulin Lang personally made a sword and wanted to give it to Lu Lingfeng, saying that he also had lofty chivalrous thoughts. The people of Hanzhou were very grateful to Lu Lingfeng and brought out good things to thank him. Cherry originally wanted to leave, but stayed after Su Wuming's clever persuasion. Song Ami was taken away by a big eagle, and Su Wuming said that maybe she didn't belong here in the first place. Lu Sian also agreed with this view and let Song Ami live well in the mountains.

When Su Wuming and his party were about to leave for the westward journey, a man who called himself Yunding Yanu suddenly appeared and asked him for help. Su Wuming observed that the person next to him was holding the mute slave tightly, and felt that there must be something hidden in this matter, so he decided not to intervene. Everyone continued to move forward, feeling happy. When Tao Fu was painting someone's tattoo, a masked man came and asked for a replacement for the unopened peony pattern. Lu Lingfeng and others arrived at Yunding. He invited Lao Fei to have a drink together and was surprised by the night market in Yunding. Sima Liang talked with Huangfu Tan and expressed that he would continue doing business, while Song Shang complimented him.

Lao Fei was deeply attracted by Yunding's delicious dishes and mellow wine. As everyone drank, Lu Lingfeng was filled with emotion and thanked everyone for accompanying him here. Seeing this, someone nearby laughed and said that if they could taste the drunkenness of immortality, that would be the real happiness. When Lao Fei heard this, he was yearning for it and wanted to taste the wine of immortality, but found that the wine had been sold out. When Lu Lingfeng saw this, he made bold words, saying that he would definitely make everyone get what they wished for. On the other side, Qingxi was getting paid to go home after dancing, but was robbed on the way. Fortunately, Golden Leopard passed by and came to help. Knowing that Baokang's leg condition was difficult to recover from, Jin Bao donated even more generously. When Baokang heard about this, he became suspicious and thought Qingxi was having an affair with Jinbao, so he banned her from dancing again.
